THE SOUTH CAROLINA FRAUD.

sent in His Own Behalf
Washington Special.
Representative Smais. the colored member
from South Carolina, is now in the city, having
filed the papers in his contested election case.
aud witnessed their opening by the Clerk of the
House for printing. Smalls claims that many
of the votes were thrown out illegally and never
counted; that intimidation was used, and that
six hundred of the votes for Mr.. Elliott his op-
ponent were illegal. because they were cast in
another district entirely. Smalls is ready TO
prove that his majority is thousand more
than the six thousand votes claimed by Elliott,
but he says he was only allowed $500. 1t is
proof that two boxes containing large majorities
for Smalls were never counted although deliv-
cred to the canvassine Office. Full proof of this
delivery was made, aud the returns show that
they were not counted.
Elliott did not attempt controvert any of
the proof to these boxes. Ellott's main claim
is that large number of colored men voted for
him. and that many more whom he named,
would have voted if they had not been intirn-
idated by colored Republicans Smalls had all
thus named summoned and their testimony
fatty contradicted Elliotts claim. strong
point in Smalls's is the testimony to estab-
sh the charge that illegal votes were cast for his
opponent.
Mr. Smalls speaks hopefully of winning his
contest in the House. The colored Representa-
tive does not think it possible for the Repub-
hcans to break the Solid South so long as the
election laws methods remain they are.
The Democrats, he says. have all the Southern
States l1 complete subsection and under their
control. AS to the administration he takes
stock in it. He thinks it is fraud and he says
the colored men in the South of the same
opinion. The appointments of Matthews and
Trotter to local Offices conld not do the Presi-
dent any good among the colored people, be-
cause colored man was removed to make the
vacancy. If white man had been removed and
a negro appointed there might have been some
capital for Mr. Cleveland Smalls hopes to see
either Blaine Sherman nominated, now that
his candidate Logan, is dead. He has no hope

The Irish Leader Is Said To Be Afflicted
with Bricht's Disease of the Kidneys.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON. May 20--It is now known that the
malady with which Mr.. Parnell is afflicted is
Brights disease of the kidneys. The disease
has greatly affected his appearance, and his sunk
eyes, emaciation, and general air of detection
denote that it has secured hold upon it's victim
from which it cannot be dislodged. His init
mate friends, who have hitherto held the most
hopeful opinions regarding his illness, now ad-
NIT that the Irish leaders chances of recovery
are doubtful, and believe that his leadership of
the National party in the House of Commons
will henceforth be nominal. Mr.. Parnel has,
as yet. given no sign of his own opinion to
the condition of his health his chances of re-
covery, but has expressed himself entirely
satisfied with the present management of the
Irish case in Parliament, and confident of the
ability of his lieutenants to fight Ireland's par
liamentary battles unaided by him.
Parnellites Not Denounced by the Church.
ROME May 20-The correspondent of the
Associated Press made inquiries regarding tie
memoir on the Irish question, alleged to have
been prepared by the Irish College. As result
of his investigation ne has authority to state
that no memoir whatever the condition of
Ireland has been issued from the Irish College,
nor has any body of members of the college
denounced the Parnellites. The statement to
that effect is an absolute falsehood.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

De Freycinet Abandons His Effort to Organ

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
PARIS, May 2O-The ministerial crisis is the
one theme of discussion here and, if the expires
sions of the continental press to be relied
upon as rejecting public opinion. attracting
more than the usual share of attention given to
such matters throughout Europe. On all sides
it is admitted that the question whether not
to exclude General Boulanger from the Ministry
is the only obstacle in the way of the speedy for
nation of Cabinet, and it is also conceded that
the longer the settlement of this question is de-
layed the greater becomes the difficulty of leav-
ing him out NJ. De Freycinet held an inter
view with President Grevy to-day. and
it was reported that he had declined to
continue his efforts to form Ministry. the
ground that he could not do justice to himself
and at the same time satisfy those whose inter
ests should be consulted. This rumor was
promptly denied, but it was officially given out
that N. De Freycinet had informed the Presi-
dent that he found himself unable to construct
a government that. in the present state of public
opinion, would have a reasonable prospect of en-
during beyond few weeks at the furthest. and,
therefore, he surrendered his commission in
favor of any gentleman who might have conf
dence in his ability to accomplish what to him
(De Freycinet) seemed impossible. 1t s proba-
BILE that M. Clemenceau will be asked to under
take the formation of Cabinet. and he will
doubtedly accept the invitation, if proffered.
Sixty Frerryist Deputies threatened NJ. De
Freycinct with systematic obstruction if he
should give portfolio to General Boulanger.
The popular movement in favor of General
Boulanger is especially active in the eastern
provinces. under the idea that his resignation
would be the signal for German descent upon
France. Petitions for the retention of General
Boulanger are being signed all over the country

The weather has let up on us
and the farmers are putting in full
time. They are fully up to time in
this neighborhood. We see in our
travels that some Of them arc be-
ginning to plant corn and should
the weather continue favorable,
there will be very much planted
this week. We see the wheat crop
is looking very promising at this
writing. Spring oats arc also look
ing we'll, but alas! the fall sowing
will be almost a failure. 1t will
come pretty hard on us to miss our
early oats, but may be we can pull
through some way or other.
We think the sorghum and mi
10 maize crops will receive full at
tention this year.
We think it is we'll to look well
a ter such crops.
Shall we tell it or not? Believe
will. The farmers have found
q less expensive way of getting

from the woods and old fields. Go
where you will you will see the
